摘要

近年來行動電話、電腦與綱際網路科技的進步促使遠距工作被廣泛的運用，以增進工作效率、工作生活品質及工作與家庭的平衡等，但這些西方文獻所指出的工作型態所帶來的優勢是否也存在於華人的文化背景尚待探討。本研究以台灣的遠距工作者與傳統工作者為測試對象，研究結果顯示在西方已開發國家的遠距工作所產生的益處同樣出現在華人的文化背景中，與西方國家不同的是，在華人文化背景中並沒有內部溝通或是公司與遠距工作者間的信任問題存在。

The advancement of cellular phones, computers and internet network communication technology has changed working styles and locations of western developed nations, where, as pointed out in present literatures, teleworking is widely applied to enhance working effeciency, working life quality, balancing work-family life, etc. However, whether the same advantages of the aforesaid working style also exist in a Chinese cultural context, and there be any effect different from the ones in the western world remained unanswered. The study examines 700 teleworkers and conventional workers in Taiwan, R.O.C. and the result shows that the benefits generated by teleworking in the western developed nations also exist in the Chinese cultural context. In addition, different from the western counterparts, there are no internal communication problems exist in teleworking in Chinese cultural context and also no trust problems between the company and teleworkers.
